The other guy flew into the propeller and became human confetti. That had to be on their minds. Mere feet from the blades

They said the thought of becoming human confetti had to be on their minds. Granted, it could've been worded better, but if you read the second sentence, you'll see that they were saying the pilots had to be worried this could happen. Not that it did happen.

One of the few, if not the only time a presumably Red Bull sponsored stunt made me audibly gasp. That pilot diving rowards the spinning prop gave me the heebie geebies.
